RecipeMuncher

One question I have been asked quite a few times, since I started blogging, is if I have a favourite cookbook or chef. I really do not and tend to decide to cook/ bake something new if the recipe seems attractive to me. However, in the course of the past two years, two cookbook authors whose recipes haven’t failed me yet are Beatrice Ojakangas and David Lebovitz. I find their recipes very doable

About a month ago, I asked my readers the question “What if you open a Filipino restaurant in a foreign country?” through few polls I ran simultaneously. Well, I am happy to share the results. Over 110 participated in the main poll! Woo hoo! Thanks heaps to all of you!

Here are [...]

You know, sometimes I think my husband is a little bitter because he was not my first choice.

You see, I was actually supposed to marry Donny Osmond, Davey Jones, or David Cassidy.

Donny Osmond, of course, was first. I have no brothers and sisters, and he has plenty to go around. Plus, Marie would have been the best sister-in-law (no offense to my current sister-in-law, who is fabulous, by the way). But I could have gotten tickets to Dancing With The Stars!!! Heck, I would have actually been on stage, cheering her on.

Davey Jones comes in a strong second. The only problem with Davey is that I believe he is shorter than me. I do not have a good history with short boyfriends. When I was 14, I was dating the boy next door. Unfortunately, I had gone through my growth spurt and was 5′8″, he hadn’t, and was probably not even 5 feet yet. Other than the height, we looked alot alike, both with blond hair and green eyes. Well, one Friday, we were roller skating at the rink, and this cute older guy (probably 16!!) started talking to me and asked who the little kid was. I said that he was my younger brother. This didn’t sit too well with my boyfriend. You should have seen the scathing note he passed to me in the hall the next day!!!

Last, is David Cassidy. I really wasn’t all that crazy about David. But I really liked Susan Dey on the Partridge Family. I thought she was really cool, and we could become best friends forever. However, even I know it’s probably not a good idea to marry someone because you like their pretend TV sister.

Who should you have married?

P.S. I forgot Peter Brady. Except that I can’t remember his real name, so probably not a good idea on him, either.
